Strike Karuizawa from your tour plans

I don't think I have mentioned on Nonjatta that Kirin told me they are closing Karuizawa's museum from Nov. 6. I have already covered the transfer of stock from Karuizawa, but, for anyone putting together a distillery tour itinerary, it should be known that Karuizawa, which until now has offered access to its now mothballed distillery as part of its museum experience, is probably best seen as a non-whisky destination.

This site is probably the most comprehensive source on the Japanese whisky scene in English. It is also independent. No one who writes for Nonjatta is employed or paid by Japanese distillers and/or retailers.
